When I look at Grandmother Olivia’s doily, I see Life Between the Stitches. You may see intricate patterns, wrappings, and cutouts. I see life. I see my Grandmother Olivia.

Abstract:
“Life Between the Stitches” is the story of a discarded Hardanger doily.
We follow it from Grandmother Olivia’s journey from the mountains and
forests of Norway in the mid-19th century to the prairies of Dakota Territory
and America. The stories overflow from the “Doily Journal” and Olivia’s
legacy. We laugh and we cry as we follow the saga of the doily and
Olivia’s descendants as they learn the meaning of their heritage going
into the 21st century.

Reviewer: Glenn Johnson
A delightful book!! Evelyn has written, in a very positive way, a love story -- a story of her love for her church and Saviour, for her husband, and for her family and heritage. Highly recommended reading.
